Here’s some wood cutting facts you may want to know:


  • Felling: This is the act of cutting down a tree.
  • Limbing: This is removing limbs from the tree after it is felled.
  • Trimming: This is using your saw to trim bushes and limbs off of a standing tree.
  • Cross cutting: This is cutting the “log” or trunk of the tree in usable pieces, for instance, fireplace lengths.

    Felling a tree on a power line will always be disastrous. Felling on a friend or neighbor’s car or house will at least lead to hard feelings and possibly an old fashion butt kicking lol!

Tips

  • This is a simple overview of basic chainsaw operation. Hopefully, you will use an experienced person to do any and all of your major tree work.
